简要总结
In Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM) conventional chemotherapy induces only low CR rates and responses of short duration compared to other indolent lymphomas. Thus innovative approaches are needed which combine excellent activity and tolerability in patients with WM, who are mostly of advanced age. The immunochemotherapy DRC (dexamethasone, rituximab, cyclophosphamide) was shown to be highly effective in patients with WM without inducing major hematological toxicities. On the other hand the proteasome inhibitor Bortezomib showed substantial activity as a single agent in WM with only very few side effects when given in a weekly schedule. Based on these observations it is the aim of this study to test whether the efficacy of the well tolerated DRC regime can be further improved by adding Bortezomib.
详细描述
Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (WM) is defined by a bone marrow infiltration by lymphoplasmacytic cells and the presence of a monoclonal immunoglobulin (Ig) M gammopathy in the peripheral blood. The clinical understanding of the disease has been greatly improved by the identification of internationally recognized criteria for initiating therapy, the description of an international prognostic index for patients requiring a first-line therapy and the definition of response criteria. These criteria are mainly based on the evolution of serum IgM concentration. However, delayed IgM monoclonal protein responses may cause important difficulties in response assessment. In addition, discrepancies between the kinetics of serum M protein reduction and the clearance of monoclonal B-cells from the bone marrow have been reported. Despite continuing advances in the therapy of WM, the disease remains incurable with a median survival of 5 to 8 years from the time of diagnosis thereby necessitating the development and evaluation of novel treatment approaches.

入选标准
- •Clinicopathological diagnosis of WM as defined by consensus panel one of the Second International Workshop on WM. Pathological diagnosis has to occur before study inclusion and randomization. In addition, pathological specimens have to be sent to the national pathological reference center at study inclusion and randomization. The positivity for CD20 can be assumed from any previous bone marrow immunohistochemistry or flow cytometry analysis performed up to 6 months prior to enrollment. Inclusion in the study will be based on morphological and immunological criteria. Immunophenotyping will be performed in each center and saved locally. Flow cytometry of bone marrow and blood cells will include at least one double staining and assess the expression of the following antigens: surface immunoglobulin, CD19, CD20, CD5, CD10 and CD
- •Patients are eligible if tumor cells express the following antigens: CD19, CD20, and if they are negative for CD5, CD10 and CD23 expression. Patients with tumor cells positive for CD5 and/or CD23 and morphologically similar to WM cells may be included after ruling out other low grade B-cell malignancies.
- •Presence of at least one criterion for initiation of therapy, according to the 2nd Workshop on WM:
- •Recurrent fever, night sweats, weight loss, fatigue
- •Hyperviscosity
- •Lymphadenopathy which is either symptomatic or bulky (≥5 cm in maximum diameter)
- •Symptomatic hepatomegaly and/or splenomegaly
- •Symptomatic organomegaly and/or organ or tissue infiltration
- •Peripheral neuropathy due to WM
- •Symptomatic cryoglobulinemia
- •Cold agglutinin anemia
- •IgM related immune hemolytic anemia and/or thrombocytopenia
- •Nephropathy related to WM
- •Amyloidosis related to WM
- •Hemoglobin ≤10g/dL
- •Platelet count <100x10^9/L
- •Serum monoclonal protein >5g/dL, even with no overt clinical symptoms Cumulative illness rating scale (CIRS) score less than 6
- •World Health Organization (WHO)/ECOG performance status 0 to
- •Other criteria:
- •Age ≥ than 18 years
- •Life expectancy >3 months.
- •Baseline platelet count ≥ 50 ×10^9/L, absolute neutrophil count ≥ 0.75×10^9/L (if not due to BM infiltration by the lymphoma).
- •Meet the following pretreatment laboratory criteria at the Screening visit conducted within 28 days of study enrollment:
- •ASAT (SGOT): ≤3 times the upper limit of institutional laboratory normal value
- •ALAT (SGPT): ≤3 times the upper limit of institutional laboratory normal value
- •Total Bilirubin: ≤20 mg/L or 2 times the upper limit of institutional laboratory normal value, unless clearly related to the disease (except if due to Gilbert's syndrome)
- •Serum creatinine: ≤ 2mg/dl
- •Premenopausal fertile females must agree to use a highly effective method of birth control for the duration of the therapy up to 6 months after end of therapy. A highly effective method of birth control is defined as those which result in a low failure rate (i.e. less than 1% per year) when used consistently and correctly such as implants, injectables, combined oral contraceptives, some IUDs, sexual abstinence or vasectomised partner.
- •Men must agree not to father a child for the duration of therapy and 6 months after and must agree to advice a female partner to use a highly effective method of birth control.
- •Voluntary written informed consent before performance of any study-related procedure not part of normal medical care, with the understanding that consent may be withdrawn by the subject at any time without prejudice to future medical care.
- •Exclusion criteria:
- •Prior systemic treatment of the WM (plasmapheresis and short- term administration of corticosteroids < 4 weeks administered at a dose equivalent to < 20 mg/day prednisone is allowed)
- •Patient with hypersensitivity to dexamethasone.
- •Serious medical or psychiatric illness likely to interfere with participation in this clinical study.
- •Uncontrolled bacterial, viral or fungal infection
- •Active HIV, HBV or HCV infection
- •Known interstitial lung disease
- •Prior allergic reaction or severe anaphylactic reaction related to humanized or murine monoclonal antibody.
- •Central Nervous System involvement by lymphoma
- •Prior history of malignancies unless the subject has been free of the disease for ≥ 5 years. Exceptions include the following:
- •Basal cell carcinoma of the skin,
- •Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin,
- •Carcinoma in situ of the cervix,

- •Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus mellitus (as indicated by metabolic derangements and/or severe diabetes mellitus related uncontrolled organ complications)
- •Chronic symptomatic congestive heart failure (Class NYHA III or IV).
- •Unstable angina pectoris, angioplasty, stenting, or myocardial infarction within 6 months
- •Clinically significant cardiac arrhythmia that is symptomatic or requires treatment, or asymptomatic sustained ventricular tachycardia.
